Biomerica Announces Second Quarter Financial Results

NEWPORT BEACH, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 17, 2007 -- Biomerica, Inc. (OTCBB: BMRA) today reported stand-alone results of diagnostic net sales of $1,332,176 for the second quarter fiscal 2007 ended November 30, 2006, compared to stand-alone results of diagnostic net sales of $875,984 in fiscal 2006, an increase of $456,192 or 52.1%. Stand-alone results of diagnostic net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2007 were $2,485,442 compared to stand-alone results of diagnostic net sales of $1,849,036 for the first six months in fiscal 2006, an increase of $636,406 or 34.4%.

Biomerica announced stand-alone results of diagnostic net income from continuing operations for the second quarter fiscal 2007, of $106,448 or $0.02 per share versus stand-alone results of diagnostic net income from continuing operations of $28,861 or $0.00 per share in fiscal 2006.

As disclosed in the Company's 8-K filed on December 5, 2005, the Company's subsidiary's (Lancer Orthodontics) financial statements are no longer consolidated with Biomerica's financial statements, effective December 1, 2005. Therefore consolidated net sales for the second quarter and six months of fiscal 2007 are lower (see attached financials).

"This is the eighth consecutive quarter of profitability for the Company. The growth in our diagnostic products group continues to increase," stated Zackary Irani, Biomerica CEO. "We are looking forward to accelerating the growth in sales by introducing a number of new products during this fiscal year."
